...good books -- great books -- will continue to find their way to readers

One thing is sure: One way or another, whether printed on paper or seen on an electronic screen, good books -- great books -- will continue to find their way to readers. Good writers -- great writers -- will continue to surface, with the help of the Drenka Willens and Rebecca Saletans of a different book world. FSG, in part thanks to Giroux's decades of dogged, tireless struggle to promote the writers in whom he believed, survives and even, one can say, seems to flourish, along with other houses of greater or lesser distinction -- although laudatory reviews and flashy book prizes often add up to little more than a literary Potemkin Village.
